You could just download wireless tether from the market. Works just as well.
I'd upload it for you but I'm not at home. If its not done by the time I get home, I will.

Wifi Tether is adhoc whereas the wireless tethering app acts like a real wifi hotspot connection.

May I ask what's the difference?
And will verizon be able to tell the difference (or whether I am tethering)? I'll mostly using for light surfing (web browsing, emails). Not interesting in watching TV over 4G.
Good question, I love the tether feature and only use it once in a while but when I need it I need it

Ad-hoc is computer to computer where as the wifi hotspot app handles connections like a real router. I believe this to be the case anyway. So, for example, when I was in Las Vegas I tried to set my laptop to stream videos to my xbox through Windows Media Center. I fired up my trusty droid thinking WiFi tether would help me out. But, it set-up an ad-hoc network and WMC will not stream to extenders over ad-hoc. I was kinda bummed.

I know that generally Android does not like connect to ad-hoc wifi but was hoping against hope that someone with an Eee Pad can check if that is still the case?
I'm definitely getting one once i can get my molesty hands on some stock somewhere, but when out and about, my trusty Treo Pro only creates an ad-hoc wifi network via wmwifirouter (works excellent with other portable wifi devices i have).
well, I'm using Barnacle with a rooted Atrix 4G and the transformer can't connect to the ad hoc network.
I can't connect my Transformer to my HTC Hero running an ad-hoc WiFi hotspot. However, it works fine over bluetooth....

Ah ha, at least bluetooth tethering works. At least that's an option i have. Thanks for checking guys.
Argh! Does this mean I can't use the 'Wifi Hotspot' app built into my phone (DHD) to share its 3G connection with my Transformer whilst I'm out and about?
Because I was kind of relying on that.
I may have to cancel my pre-order :-(

It's an Android issue in general, nothing specific to the Transformer specifically. The latest wifi tether for root users i think now does Infrastructure mode and also bluetooth tethers as well.

You can tether it through Bluetooth, which is better IMO. Every time I use Wifi Hotspot on my N1, I start having crashes and memory issues. I had rather use BT for this.

I don't know about that particular phone, but if the hotspot is infrastructure mode (like what is built into Froyo), the TF will be able to connect to it and use it. If it is Ad Hoc, then there will be trouble, Android in general does not support connecting to Ad Hoc (could have changed in Honeycomb now, I but I don't think so). I've used my TF with the Infrastructure hotspot on my Optimus phone, for example, it works fine. Figure out what kind of hotspot your phone does.

On Windows Mobile, use wmwifirouter and choose the bluetooth tethering option. See if that works.
Someone a few posts up mentioned that he's tethering his TF via bluetooth to his Android phone.
It definetely depends on the phone. wireless tether to my buddy's HTC Evo worked yet didnt with my HTC Hero. Luckily, the bluetooth does work exceptionally well so theres no worries!

I installed the trial of Wmwifirouter, but the bluetooth tether option is grayed out. Maybe a limitation of the trial?
I just can't believe that there isn't a better solution for this. Surely there is a utility or a workaround for those of us in tethering hell!!! GahhhH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Would this be feasible on a honeycomb device?

has anyone tried to tether with the EVO?
I saw a patch for another tablet somewhere to enable ad-hoc wifi. it was a zip for cwm, but most definitely it was built for earlier android version. i'll look for it nonetheless and report back.

Do you use the wifi feature on your thunderbolt and if so have you used it in your gaming console and do you get lag on it?
I'm assuming you mean mobile hotspot feature and I have tried it and yes I do get lag. The mobile hotspot does not give great constant signal so there are many breaks and drop outs. I would not recommend using this but give it a shot if you want.
Hope this helps
The factory mobile hotspot app has a cap on the speed. I get better results from other tether apps.

even using other tether apps, things like online gaming and streaming video are not exactly ideal
Tried xbox live through it and was disconnected while searching for any online games. I would say that it's probably not the best idea.
I play wow, with vent and sometimes pandora on 2-3 bars of 3g with low pings...

Just got my Nexus S 4G, running it 100% stock and not sure if I will ever root/ROM it yet. I can tether fine using built-in Wifi hotspot. As we know, the tether kills 4G and forces 3G when active.
I only actually have 3G at my house, so I can't test any other methods, but I am wondering if any other tethering tools will allow 4G tether? For example, Barnacle wifi or PDAnet USB... tools I've used in the past on rooted phones. And if either of these methods does work for 4G tethering... is root required? Would appreciate hearing from anyone who has 4G available nearby and has tested these methods on rooted/unrooted phones.
Thanks!

Wifi tether for root users works, but it creates an ad-hoc network, so you can't connect with another android device. A laptop will be able to connect though

You can root and leave everything else stock. Rooting on this phone is trivial.
Non-root tether apps like Pdanet and EasyTether all run as regular apps on the phone. If running a normal app like Pandora preserves 4g status, then the 4g status should remain with those as well.
As for speed, you can look at a comparison that someone ran a few days ago across the popular USB tether apps:

using the same wireless tether app, but don't worry i figured out the answer. Most androids tether thru adhoc but for some reason the evo is different and uses infrastructure mode, thats why my xoom can't pick up the nexus s signal but it can from the evo.

That's not entirely correct. Most newer phones have the capability to create an infrastructure network. It was more hit or miss on older phones.
The built in hotspot app does create an infrastructure network on the Nexus S. The 3rd party wifi tethering app creates an ad-hoc network though on the Nexus S for some reason. Unfortunately the built in tethering doesn't utilize the wimax radio currently.
The hardware on the nexus s does support creating an infrastructure network though, so I don't know why the wifi tethering app is creating an ad-hoc network if it has the capability to do infrastructure.

Maybe shoot the dev an email. The hardware supports infrastructure and the AP can clearly do it. It may be a simple error in logic preventing the Nexus s from being detected as a device capable of infrastructure.

afaik you can't 'improve' tethering, it either works or its a crap connection as it depends on your phone's signal strength... I get good results with the wifi tether 3.0 (or 3.1 can't remember ) pre-12 version, though I don't play xbox over the connection so I couldn't say if it works okay
I have 4g full bars, its very annoying, I can surf the web alright but online gaming is pretty bad.

I didn't see this in the forums before but I was wondering if it is possible to tether a wifi hotspot on the nexus through it's wifi. I ask this because I travel 3 weeks at a time with my company and can't use Netflix, live, etc on my xbox. They have wifi and ethernet there but both have the stupid welcome page and you have to agree to terms to use the internet.the xbox doesn't have a browser that allows me to accept the webpage and I'm in North Dakota with work and I'm in constant roaming the entire time so no 3g natively of my phone to tether. So that brings me back to my question is there anyway to use the wifi they have open a browser window on my phone accept the welcome and then tether to my console?
I wonder if you can accept the TOS, jot down the IP address then quickly disconnect and force your Xbox to the same IP address given in advanced networking? Also you can tether with a laptop for sure, not sure with the phone.

Guarantee you could use your phones browser connected to the wifi to accept the terms of service. I've done it several times with things like that.
